There are now much stricter rules on the claims that a food
advert can make. A claim is a statement that is supposed
to be true. Adverts often contain claims to convince you to
buy a product. Many countries now have laws that say that
all health claims must be supported by scientific evidence.

WHAT DOES OUR FOOD CONTAIN?

In science, the word diet means what you eat. Your diet provides
raw materials for your body, which are needed for energy (to move, II What do scientists mean
by diet?
keep warm, make new materials), growth and repair, and health.
a I What is a nutrient?
Food substances that provide raw materials are called nutrients. II
These include carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals. bl What does your body
use nutrients for?
The main carbohydrates in food are insoluble starch and soluble
sugars. There are many different sugars, including sucrose (table
sugar) and glucose.
There are many different sorts of fats. Some are solid and some are
liquid at room temperature. We call liquid fats oils. Fats and oils are
sometimes called lipids.
We also need to eat fibre. This is made of plant cell walls and is
not used by the body, but it keeps us healthy by helping food
move through the intestines and stopping them getting blocked
(constipation). Wholegrain cereals and breads contain a lot of fibre.
Water is also very important since about 65 per cent of you is water!
Water:
■ acts as a lubricant
• dissolves substances so that they can be carried around the body
■ fills up cells so that they hold their shape
■ cools you down, when you sweat.

■ How are water and fibre helpful for preventing constipation?

WHY DO WE NEED THE DIFFERENT NUTRIENTS?

Different nutrients are used for different things in


your body. II List all the different types of nutrient in food.

For energy

~
When you eat food, you gain mass. When doing
everyday activities, the fuel in your food is used
up and so you lose mass. To make sure your mass
does not change, the amount of fuel you use
should be balanced by the amount you eat.
Your body's main source of energy is
carbohydrates. There is a lot of starch in foods
like bread and potatoes, and sugars are found
in sweet foods. Another source of energy comes

Energy transfers
Different foods contain different amounts of
energy, which is measured in kilojoules (kJ).
Respiration in your cells releases the energy.
As your eel Is respire, the energy is transferred
(moved) from the nutrients, making it available
for you to grow, move, think and keep warm.
The amount of energy your body needs to
transfer depends on your age, whether you are
male or female and how active you are.

Growth and repair


Proteins are very important for making new cells to help us to
grow and repair our bodies. Proteins are found in foods like
meat, fish, eggs, cheese, beans and milk.

For health
All nutrients are important for health, and these include
tiny quantities of vitamins and mineral salts (usually
just called minerals). For example, vitamin A is needed
for healthy skin and eyes, and vitamin C helps cells
in tissues to stick together properly. Vitamin D and
calcium are needed to make bones, and iron is used to
make red blood cells.

Starvation
The worst form of malnutrition is starvation, in which people
lack nearly all the nutrients they need. People who are
starving get thinner and thinner.

Obesity
People whose food contains more energy than they need
may become overweight. This can cause heart disease,
when fat clogs the arteries and stops enough blood reaching
the heart muscle tissue. If very little blood reaches the heart
muscle, it can start to die (a heart attack), which causes a
painful squeezing feeling in the chest.
People who are overweight are more likely to have high
blood pressure, which can damage the heart or kidneys or
cause blood vessels to burst.
People who are very overweight are said to be obese. Obesity
is increasing in many countries, so some scientists want to
stop adverts for fatty or sugary foods.

Gut bacteria
Bacteria are microorganisms (organisms you need
a microscope to see). Although they are tiny, your
intestines contain about 1 kilogram (kg) of them!
Some of these bacteria are useful, but other types
are harmful.
The bacteria in your gut feed on your food and
can digest some foods that your body cannot. The
bacteria grow and reproduce using some of these
digested molecules, but the rest of the molecules
can be absorbed into your body.

Enzymes
Enzymes are substances that speed up the breaking down of large molecules
into smaller ones. Substances that speed up reactions (without being changed
themselves) are called catalysts. Enzymes are biological catalysts.

8AeSURFACE AREA
HOW ARE SURFACE AREAS CALCULATED?

The area of a rectangle is worked out using


this formula:

area of a rectangle = length x w idth

Area is measured in square units, like metres


squared (m2), centimetres squared (cm 2),
millimetres squared (mm 2). So, if the length
and width are in metres (m), the area is in m2.

A tennis court is a rectangle 23.78 m long


and 10.97 m wide:

area = 23.78 x 10.97


= 260.87 m 2

II What is the area of a soccer pitch that is


100 m long and 45 m wide? Show your
working.

The total area of all the surfaces on a three-dimensional shape is called


the surface area. It is important because it can affect t he speed at
which things happen.

Radiators and air conditioning evaporators have folds or fins o n them


to increase their surface areas. This means that more energy can be
transferred from them in a certain length oftime.

Calculating surface areas


A cube has six faces. To find the surface area of a cube you find the area
of each face and add them all together. Some cells are roughly cuboid,
so we can estimate the total su rface area by finding the total of the

II Estimate the surface area of
an approximately cuboid cell,
Area of front and back= 120 + 120 = 240 µm
